  Composer: Unknown.
  Type of song: Satangah Tiang but as Philip Yampolsky explains "Padang Magek can be either happy [gembira] or "half-happy" [satangah tiang, as listed here] but cannot be sad [ratok]. The pantun the singers choose make it half-happy in this performance" (Yampolsky, 1994, liner notes).

  • Nagari: Padang Magek.
  • Kecamatan: Rambatan.
  • Luak: Tanah Data.

  Song Structure: The pantun used for this tune are 4 lines in total, split into the two halves: batang and isi. Each half is 2 lines of text. The tune is somewhat unique in that each line of the pantun is repeated. The melodic line, however, is slightly different on the repeats. Either vocables are inserted or certain syllables of the pantun are extended, both are techniques to make the pantun fit the melodic line. 
  
  One other special feature of this song is that in delivery, it often involves an atypical method of delivery, where the padendang combine forces singing momentarily as a duo (see Rendition: "Padang Magek" on Night Music of West Sumatra) or the second padendang takes over mid-verse to complete the end of the last line (see Rendition: "Padang Magek" 07/29/16).
